Yes, the 9V is because of the auxiliary power supply that powers
everything inside. Not just the Classic of course. Lots of voltages and
various
power levels required to run these things.
And charcoal inside a Classic refurb ! Hmmm... You can be sure...
There WILL be spankings !

MPPT does need a minimum battery voltage to wake up and start
charging, at least 9 volts -- I once arrived at a remote site on a
sunny day, the PV input breaker had tripped, batteries were under 9v,
no charging despite the sunny weather until I woke the MPPT up with
jumper cables from my truck battery.

Hi all. I returned to a off grid site today after having no winter
access. It appears as though the classic 150 charge controller has
failed. The batteries are completely discharged. The classics
screen will flash occasionally as well as a yellow light on this
left front of the controller but wont turn on. Does the classic
have a minimum voltage requirement needed to turn on? Has anyone
else experienced this? I can't figure out what happened to cause
this issue.
Thanks
